The BDE MSI installer package will not run it just locks up. This is a known issue. I have managed to get the BDE on the server by extracting the install from the DLL.
The BDE folder (located inside "\Program Files\Common Files\Borland Shared") on your computer should contain the file BDEINST.CAB that you should unpack (using WinZip or equivalent). You will then get the file BDEINST.DLL that contains all the files necessary to install the file-based database drivers on a users system (these include the textdriver, Paradox, dBase and MS Access). The only thing you need to do now is to copy the DLL to the users machine and register it by either calling regsvr32.exe with BDEINST.DLL as an argument. If the user doesn't have regsvr32.exe on his machine, you can include it in the installation as a temporary file, run it to register the DLL and then deleting it. However, when I run this DLL from my installer I still get an error message Jason Richards DDI 01933 429 800 FAX 08707 623843 www.healingbreeze.net www.healingbreeze.biz http://www.astarodirect.co.uk -----Original Message----- From: delphi-db-boun...@elists.org [mailto:delphi-db-boun...@elists.org] On Behalf Of delphi-db-requ...@elists.org Sent: 05 August 2009 13:00 To: delphi-db@elists.org Subject: Delphi-DB Digest, Vol 69, Issue 2 Send Delphi-DB mailing list submissions to delphi-db@elists.org To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit http://lists.elists.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/delphi-db or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to delphi-db-requ...@elists.org You can reach the person managing the list at delphi-db-ow...@elists.org When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific than "Re: Contents of Delphi-DB digest..."
